I've got a 5 - 6 year old Dyson, the purple "animal" one. It's not the "ball" version, but the older one. It's lasted just fine and still does a great job cleaning. We have 3 long hair cats, so it gets used a lot (had 4 until this past July). It replaced a Kenmore that we still use, but only down in the basement, the power head on the Kenmore melted in a couple of places, so it doesn't work any more, it was only about 3 years old when we got the Dyson. I had to repair another part of the power head before that, too. One thing I can say, getting parts for Kenmore machines is pretty easy (though I'd rather not actually need them!).
Dyson - I clean the filters a couple of times a year and the main body about once a year, and I have to take the bottom cover off the roller about once a month and cut the accumulated hair off the roller, but nothing has broken on it yet...
One thing I will say about the Dyson design, I don't like how the hose attachment works. If you have it on a hard floor and are using the hose, the machine will follow you around closely. Other than that, great machine.
